My Uncle was told he has cirrhosis caused from hep c and heavy drinking and has about a year to live. He has tons of health issues and is coughing up blood, has distended liver, breathing issues, fluid retention in legs, heavy bruising, has been falling, and forgetful. He is only 65. He will not quit drinking, in fact has drank more since the diagnosis. Can they really put a timeline on his disease and are all these symptoms signs that his health is deteriorating more rapidly?
